St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Montreal



I've driven by St. Paul`s Anglican Church many times, it is located at 3970 Cote Ste-Catherine Road almost directly across the street from the Jewish General Hospital. It is a simple building, constructed in 1935. There are two other Anglican churches that I am reminded of by St. Paul's, all three churches are small buildings compared to other Anglican churches on the Island of Montreal: one is St. Stephen's Church in Lachine, it is the oldest Anglican Church on the Island; the other church, formerly Anglican, belongs to the Romanian Orthodox Church and is located on Upper Lachine Road. There is a wealth of history associated with all three of these churches. Here are a few photographs of St. Paul's Anglican Church taken at the end of June 2024; it is a brave little church.

St. Stephen's Anglican Church in Lachine, Quebec

I used to visit Lachine, Quebec, fairly regularly. It's only fifteen minutes from where I live in Montreal but it always feels like I am on holiday when there. You can walk along the Lachine canal, visit different museums, eat at some terrific restaurants, go fishing at the lighthouse, walk along Lac St-Louis... on one of these walks I came across St. Stephen's Anglican Church. This is the oldest Anglican church on the Island of Montreal; founded in 1822, construction of the church was completed in 1831. The church is located at 25 12th Avenue in Lachine, behind the Couvent des Soeurs Ste-Anne, which I believe is now a college. I made this video in the spring of 2013.
